Thousands held a peaceful protest in front of the offices of the Police Investigations Department at Har Hotzvim in Jerusalem.
The demonstrators from all over the country carried signs with a picture of Ahuvya Sandak and are calling to “close the Judea/Samaria police” and “don’t whitewash the murder of Ahuvya Sandak”. Police were activated to evacuate the demonstrators from the road, Israel National News reported.
Sandak, 16, was killed last Monday when the car he was driving in with another four youth was being chased by the police and overturned during the high-speed pursuit.
Sandak was killed last Monday when the vehicle he was in flipped over while he was fleeing from police who came to the scene after receiving reports that passengers in an Israeli vehicle were throwing rocks at a Palestinian vehicle, J-Post elaborated.
Jerusalem Post reported that Sandek was a member of the Hilltop Youth, a religious-nationalist youth group who establish outposts without an Israeli legal basis in the West Bank.
An initial inquiry shows that the police car rammed them from behind and caused the deadly accident. Furthermore, the police failed to properly treat the victims at the site of the accident according to Hamodia.
The four policemen who were involved in the pursuit of the late Ahuvya Sandak that led to his death will not face prosecution, Channel 12 News reported.
According to the report, indictments against Sandak’s friends who were with him will be filed during the coming week.
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu spoke with the parents of the late Ahuvya Sandak, expressing condolences on the death of their son during the police chase in Binyamin. Netanyahu invited the parents to his office and they in response sent him an invitation to Bat Ayin, Israel National News reported.
Rabbi Dov Lior opened the demonstration and spoke, as did MK Yitzhak Pindros of United Torah Judaism. Rabbi David Fendel, head of the Hesder Yeshiva in Sderot, addressed the audience: “Even a negligent killer is called a murderer. Take responsibility for this murder. What body in the country investigates itself? Where did we see police officers interrogate police officers?
“There’s nobody in the world that investigated itself. We call for the closure of the Judea/Samaria special police, evil emerged from you, so first of all, make a stop. Then explore what happened with this unnecessary death. We want unity and connection. I from the south feel connected to the center and the heart. Sending blessing and love to Samaria. You are our emissaries,” the rabbi added.
